Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens)

I got my first YBC of the year today in North Bend, OH.

Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus)


I heard my first GCF last week. Now they seem to be all over the place, if you get used to their "wheeep" call.

Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra)

I love spring migration. Very uncharacteristicly, this tanager saw my camera and flew off after I took the photo.
